I did it. You can too. But you have to start. Give before you ask. Focus on getting better & not the numbers. Learn before you scale.
My first hire at Blind cost me way more than a salary.
It cost me 52 hours of filings, registrations and portals I didn't understand (not to mention the headaches and stress).
I priced it out on the whiteboard (of course).

Can I get your help in voting for my non-panel talk? SXSW is filled with panels of questionable value. How do I know? I've been a part of them, and I've been in the audience plenty of times. Let's try something different.

Al gave everyone the same toolkit.
Now the bottleneck is taste.
The person who knows good from average will beat the person who can’t discern the difference.

There’s a reason why @RiversidedotFM is the de facto standard when it comes to podcast recording platforms, and why I won’t use anything else—it’s the best.
I’ve trusted it to capture hundreds of conversations with notable guests, authors and thought leaders. I’m not going to take that risk with some other platform.
• No blotchy videos with compression artifacts
• No glitchy internet hiccups to deal with
• Separate, clean audio channels
• Easy to use
• Super fast syncing
• Text based editing tools makes creating short form content a breeze
Comment “Riverside” and I’ll send you a checklist to use to go from recording, to published content in one place.

“Grief is the price you pay to experience true love.” —@jimmycarr
In the age of AI, the ability to do something slowly will be the new luxury.
Craft will matter more.
People will pay more knowing that an artisan made a beautiful object vs a 3d printed version of the exact same thing.
People who don’t have the wisdom to see the real value in people who have life experience (read older) don’t deserve their gifts. Their loss in my opinion.
I'll be in Vancouver doing a fireside chat on "The Future of Brand" in the age of AI.
Sat July 26
6-9pm
Hope to see you there.
